Anterior and posterior arms narrow, hardly connected with 

 the lateral ones, which broadly invade the margins ])lagiata. 



Elytra narrow, dorsal markings like, insidiosa, but with no 

 lateral marginal band transvaalensis. 



An elongate quadrate basal black patch connected by a short 

 broad sutural band, with a transverse ante-median broad band 

 reaching from side to side eximia.

Head red. 



A narrow transverse band reaching from side to side . . . . amahilis. 



A sutural triangular patch reaching the sixth interval . . . , pereg7'inator. 



The sutural patch reaching the sixth interval, but the apex of 

 the triangle reaching much nearer to the base discigera. 



The sutural patch broader in the anterior part, produced 

 diagonally towards the middle along the suture, blunter and 

 narrower behind vagans. 



A post-median, subquadrate, infuscate patch, hardly defined, 

 and extending as far as the fourth stria on each side duhia.
